Internal unpack operation bug

Post by *HAL 9000 »

I use cm_UnpackFiles button to extract rar or zip archive from one pane to another pane. In "Unpack files" dialog if I enter such a dir name (which wasn't created before the operation): test -test then internal unpack operation can't be done and tcm uses external unpacker.

C:\example\test -test fails
C:\example\test - test success
C:\example\test- test success
C:\example\test .test success
"C:\example\test -test" success

This isn't a bug, it's a feature! When TC detects a space followed by a dash and a character, it reads it as a command line parameter and tries to pass it to the external unpacker. You need to put the path in double quotes to prevent it.

For each operation putting double quotes (forever) is quite tiring. Tcm should handle it in different way like putting / as command line parameter or some character which is never used in folder names.
